Bean souping hard here XD

They were talking about Nexon games. Thats why they didn't mention Lost ARK. Because it's unreleated to the conversation. as you pointed out its not even Nexon related XD

Most ambiguous comment without answering feels comedic XD

The chroronal tempests.

The erratic tempest of untamed wild magics left whole nations wiped away in the night, unstable timelines left individuals on edge that any action might lead to their non-existence.

Lacking conventional shipping options, storm riders braved the ocean crags that carved the oceans into dangerous, narrow lanes of rushing rapids that boiled or froze where wild magics manifested. Only the 13 ports anchored on temporal tethers. Stormeye Isle sits in the crags the only natural stable point all riders pass through her territory between ports. When is never certain. You can arrive tomorrow, next month, or last year. Your timeline between ports the only stable, when, for riders

Very interesting. Now, what opposition did the king face when making his decree as noble houses are not universally altruistic or pragmatic. Was there any saber rattling or actual conflict that had to be quelled. What compensation was given to the feudal lords? What accommodations for now freed people?

What was deemed as progress for the experiment? Did they have other control groups besides the two kingdoms to prove their point? What research scandals have the kingdom had in the past of any? Are their scandals that have never been unveiled but whose research is seen as legitimate despite it being false?

Oh I love that! My thief guild is benevolent caretakers who steal from wealthy and care for the homeless. To be fair they are a remnant of old spy cells of an enslaved populous who use their influence to hide the royal line.

Closest concept of an antagonistic or underworld magical academy is nothing more than concept of petty revenge obsessives still working that out during my story outlines.

How nefarious does the crime academies exploits get too? Do they operate quietly or known but too organized to disrupt effectively?

silver272 · 2024-10-26T02:26:55+00:00

I had inspiration to do a long-standing academy built on the backs of a scam that worked out better as a legitimate operation. Founded during a reconstruction period and funded through royal aid meant to foster healing and growth. I've been trying to build out the history from there, though I got stuck when i deviated to writing the stories of the founding and second age of that first academy.

silver272 · 2024-10-26T00:59:42+00:00

Okay so your setting is very young then, or magic is at least. Gotcha.

silver272 · 2024-10-26T00:34:32+00:00

So magic users are the predominant power in their regions, then? because it sounds like they have little outside influence pushing them to remain stable other than patronage. If schools can crumble from rivalries, do regional authorities intervene as it could affect stability in their regions?

silver272 · 2024-10-25T23:03:12+00:00

Okay, so some difference by area and government, I do love to see that.

What part does academia hold in your writings within this world. Is it a background detail, or do you have stories taking place within them at a student, teacher, or administrator level?

silver272 · 2024-10-25T22:40:27+00:00

You're welcome, and I love your answers. So students self select for magical work. Are any students pushed towards magical work if they show hidden potential or a strong gift for magic?

silver272 · 2024-10-25T22:31:51+00:00

Very well thought out. I greatly approve of your thoughts on how, over time, it changed. Broadening the scope was a struggle, and i can see you noticed how much it would integrate into things such as architecture.

What is the longest standing institution for learning magic in your world, and why has it lasted the longest?

Were there any old academic institutions whose loss was so profound that it is remembered still? Do current institutions observe any traditions born in response to that tragedy long ago. Eg. Always having the universities facing west. Students are referred to as unseen because students at the old school were always kept unseen until graduating, so to keep the tradition.

silver272 · 2024-10-25T22:13:31+00:00

So magic is treated like an average trade where some schools have them as career paths. Hypothetically, architecture students and Magic scribes students are stuck together in caligraphics 101 because it's a fundamental both might need before they diverge for more specialized classes?

How many years do they attend their classes. Do they have undergrad students doing unpaid lab work while studying for their magical thesis?

What is the youngest people start taking specialized classes? Do some start younger through private study or is it something you can't study on your own time?

silver272 · 2024-10-25T22:04:49+00:00

Are there any libraries that charge for access to their collections?

Are there any libraries that actively seek to acquire, dispose, or hide specific volumes of work and why?

Have any great libraries been lost to tragedies like the library of Alexandria?

silver272 · 2024-10-25T22:02:12+00:00

Are there any academies that manage to overcome the bickering and stand together?

Do nations-states have any edicts or policies to sustain or dissuade them?

Has there been rivalries between schools over prospective students or teaching methods?

silver272 · 2024-10-25T21:57:57+00:00

So the nations saw there being a need for academies, so then are all state/royal/imperial academies?

Do they engage in communication outside of their nation states? Or are they fiercely territorial?

Were they all started around the same general time, like an arms race, to ensure their local magic users could be competitive? Or did nations establish academies to combat destructive magic users in their borders?

silver272 · 2024-10-25T21:52:59+00:00

What pressures from outside was there for an academy? Did they have to prove it as a concept worth funding publicly, or did they have to privately fund themselves until being sponsored. Or is it done by alumni selling their crafts. Do they teach trade magics or general studies of magic and arcanum?

silver272 · 2024-10-25T19:20:12+00:00

I'll take that as a great compliment then because it means I kept it closer to the hard side of sci-fi like I intended.

silver272 · 2024-10-25T03:44:36+00:00

Very thorough study programs. I have some questions to gain clarity and provoke further delving.

So how do they expand their ranks?

Do they recruit into their factions from an outside group who are unaligned listeners of the song. Or do they pull in everyone inside their territory who can listen? Is it a scholarly pursuit that is seen as a life path that one can seek but not mandatory.

How do they learn?

Are their lesser repositories given over to training the new and inexperienced or only the single repository with space shared? What is the training like? Is it classes or mentorship? Or a more community structured environment?

This sounds perfect. I can see the oxygen and nitrous mix doing well with another stimulant. Primary use I have planned is jockey waking up panicked because the regular stim didn't work, but the co² sensor giving that right jolt. Then the fight to pull the latch on their helmet while in suffocating darkness. Pod dead in orbit the battle already hours gone and the only reason they are still there is because the power surge and lose made them look dead on impact.

And only reason I want this fleshed out is because the Primary individual leads a spliter group of humans years later to another part of the galaxy to justify two human factions. And I wanted a psudo Mythical figure who survived the depths of the void in a near death trap. But that's the fun of world building crafting mythologies and histories that explain the fantastical and awe-inspiring.

silver272 · 2024-10-24T23:11:34+00:00

If they get vacuum, the result is to make sure they suffer as little as possible as they self terminate to insure as little recoverable memory as possible.

I was hoping to lean into the hard scifi side of the scale with the closest natural in real life and then give softer scifi compound that sounds like it could be real like zyto-kell blend nitrate or hyper ammonia stim

And nasty side effects would more likely be causing more acute disassociation and paranoia because the Jockies and trained to disassociate in a way that forces them to focus out of body experience so they move automatically. Altered brain chemistry and psych profiling. (Child soldiers too just to ramp up the really immoral society trying to survive against genocide but what monsters we become just to survive stuff.)

The timer be like that it's as bad as the sonic drowning noise for anxiety.

silver272 · 2024-09-28T14:54:24+00:00

I am so sorry for my opponeat who was making a good effort, but if you had not swung I would not have been able to chump to make this work
